Phil: This is Taipei, on Taiwan. In the heart of the city, Chaing Kai Shek memorial plaza.

Ron/Christina, 9:47 am, CLUE: Fly to your final destination city, Anchorage. Phil: They'll make their way to 6th Avenue Outfitters, to pick up gear and a clue. C conf: We're going to keep our position, #1. $392 for the last leg of the Race.

TK/Rachel, 10:30 am. TK conf: Every team has its way to be successful. For us, it's being calm.

Airport, R/C, China Air. Nic/Don, 10:37 am. Nic conf: I don't know anyone at his age that can do this. Don: When I was a kid, I fished and hunted every day! I'm experienced! Nic: Then you'll be in charge.

Christina gets tix and a free upgrade in seats and the lounge (where they have internet access). TK/Rachel get the same tickets. Nic/Don arrive at airport ... same tickets. Non-stop.

Based on teh time team's made in back to Taipei and when they checked in Both Tk & Rachel and Nicolas & Donald do that half of the day faster then Ronald & Christina. Shows how important getting an earlier train was.

The other two teams can't find Ron/Chris, who are learning about Anchorage on the internet, from the China Air lounge. They're freaking out, thinking R/C may have obtained a better flight. R/C come out from the lounge and the other 2 teams are relieved.

EQUALIZED. Flight leaves on time. Airplane confessionals of all three teams.

Plane lands, during the daytime. Teams line up 1-2-3 at the front of the plane. Ron/Chris run, first place, for a taxi. The three teams are headed for 6th Ave Outfitters.

First to the Outfitters, R/C. CLUE: Find Ship Creek Boat Launch. Phil: At the waterfront, their next clue. Christina's cabbie knows where it is. Ron: We're gonna do fileting of fish! I hope I don't cut myself!

TK/R in 2nd, get CLUE and fish-fileting gear. TK to cabbie: You know where it is? Cabbie, dryly: I think so. **ominous music plays**

Nic/Don only a couple of minutes behind.

Ron/Chris, DETOUR. Phil: Two tasks performed by fisherman: Cut the cod, or grab the crab. Cod: Cut cod until you find a clue hidden inside one of the fish. Crab: Jump into the hold of a boat, with 500 crabs, search through nipping crabs for one marked with Race colors. Teams could find themselves in a pinch.
